year = {2017},
note = {When researching the history of constitutions since 1945, topics
chosen have often been the executive branch or the national parliament
(Bundestag) while at the same time the history and the development of
the state parliaments have been seriously neglected . Taking the
southwest German parliaments from 1946 till 1952 and the parliaments
of the state of Baden-Württemberg as of 1952 as examples, important
research questions are discussed leading to a future, more intensive
examination of the work and also of the self-concept of state
parliaments . An analytical framework is developed that first asks
about the main ideas, the self-concept and the legal basis (including
their origins) of the parliaments and then, in a second step, how the
parliaments in their constitutional reality were able to do justice to
their assigned tasks . In a third step the main focus is on exploring
aspects of the social and cultural history of the parliaments through
selected biographies of their members . Previously unknown or not
sufficiently regarded sources of information are also highlighted .},
